EVE General Discussion

Not many people can contradict themselves in their first two sentences, but you rose to the occasion quite admirably.

I'm lighting up a ***. Wait for it.... pffffffffffwooooooshhah

I am sure there are plenty of others who also understand the reasons for the way it currently is, and who will answer in more depth, contrary to your assumption, I am more involved as a hunter rather than the missioner or prey, and would hate to see such a bonanza thrown at me. I am often the scout, who does the work, and in theory would benefit most from the suggestion, however......

I will give just one example. There are many more effects one can read about in the other threads, for anyone who is genuinely interested in knowing and understanding why it is such a significant issue, and why it has not been implemented.

It is easy enough as it is to drop on the noctis clearing sleeper sites, and he would see probes in a flash if I dropped them on him.
I cannot assume a lazy inexperienced player in a wormhole. It can happen, but I would not expect such easy opportunities often.
Currently I need to pre scan the signatures and wait for him or scan down the missioning fleet. i have to employ skill and cunning and preparation to catch him.
Scanning down the missioning fleet usually results in a T3 fleet waiting for me to counter gank so not exactly smart though, but can lead to awesome fights.
if this was implemented, then I could jump into the hole, scan all the wrecks in the hole, (note the signatures have gone after being run) and have someone in each site cloaked waiting for him in seconds. he has absolutely no counter.

It would be the bloodbath to end all bloodbaths.

In fact the entire methodology and practices involved in stealthy PVE throughout new eden would be permanently altered, and not for the better.

It becomes somewhat tiring, seeing people hoping to slip this through without people noticing, as a "reasonable " sounding proposition, a little like Swift's reasonable proposition,

So in short Bad for PVP and bad for PVE unless one believes cheap kills are a goal.
